January can seem a bit bleak with the decorations and lights down after Christmas, and the house can feel empty. What's the solution to lift your spirits and brighten up your home? HOUSEPLANTS! Adding that simple touch of green really helps to make a home look cosy and adds freshness to the room. There's a houseplant for everyone and almost any situation, whether you're a novice or a houseplant pro! Want something high-impact? Why not choose a larger plant as a focal point in your room. Or maybe you prefer something small you can watch grow on - this is also a good way of getting kids interested in plants.

The soup originates from the town of Cullen in Moray, on the Scottish northeastern coast. Traditionally, the word "Skink" is used to describe a broth made with beef scrapings. In the 1890s, these scraps of beef became hard to come by. However, at this time, Cullen’s harbour was a thriving fishing port. So the people of the town decided to use smoked haddock in their soup. From this, the Cullen Skink we all love today was created.

Shortbread is a favourite of all seasons and a traditional Scottish staple. It is an easy-to-make treat for all the family. A traditional treat for First Footing. Perfect event for Valentine's Day, Christmas, or even a little afternoon meet-up with friends and family!
